I've looked and can't find the answer...
Does anyone know the name of the key binding setting for the autopilot mode change (wings lvl/hdg/trk-lo/trk-hi) in P3DV4 control setup?

Re: P3DV4 and autopilot key designations
Yes - the "AP Mode" key command isn't available within P3D itself; instead you assign it using the A2A Cherokee Input Configurator (available from the Windows Start Menu).
If you use FSUIPC5, the L:Var in question is "L:ApModePushSwitch". It should be set to 1 on press and set to 0 on release.

Re: P3DV4 and autopilot key designations
Thanks Nick!
Now, my only question is how the configurator decides which sim it's going to apply changes to.
When I start it, I see all the FSX inputs I set up. How do I point to the P3D config?
ETA:
I found an axisConfig.cfg file in the documents/A2A/P3D/Cherokee 180/ directory which shows:
This seems to have no effect in P3D.

Re: P3DV4 and autopilot key designations
I think any key commands or button presses you assign in the input configurator should just be applied to both sims. At least that's how it works with my set-up.

Thanks for your help. I'll keep playing as I'm switching sims to P3D and am a complete newbie.Nick M wrote:I think any key commands or button presses you assign in the input configurator should just be applied to both sims. At least that's how it works with my set-up.

I wonder if I have to comment out "Disable_Shortcuts"...

Re: P3DV4 and autopilot key designations
Okay, let us know how you get on. I've checked and the A2A Input Config. key commands which I set up in FSX still seem to work fine in P3Dv.4. You'll need to make sure controllers are enabled in the P3D menus though. This setting is ticked by default, but sometimes FSUIPC users choose to untick it.

No, that's not necessary - that line just refers to the function which enables you to assign a key 'disable shortcuts'.pchamney wrote:I wonder if I have to comment out "Disable_Shortcuts"...
